Looking for good free templates for my church website

Post by spenceh » Mon Apr 16, 2007 10:34 am

I have seen quite a few templates, however none of them seem to have features such as increase font size etc.  Are there any freebies out there that will fit the bill?

I know that church work always has to do with money not being available. From experience, however, I know that a little bit should be available to spread the word of God through this medium.
Therefore, if you go to http://www.rockettheme.com, you find for a small amount of money you can get some nice accessible templates. They contain features with char sizes and colour choices.

A little late, but... some template providers, including RocketThemes, will provide free templates to non-profits in certain circumstances, including churches. I love RocketThemes, and they are terrific to work with. It's May 27, and I am already waiting for the June 07 template. Their latest, Versatility III, will be tough to beat.

Over 1000 templates, all free. I'm not sure which ones have all the features you want, but free is free :)

I didn't find anything I wanted, and anything I liked required so much customization I just decided to start learning Joomla template dev.
I'm still trying to find a good resource that can tell me how to take a site template designed in photoshop and create a joomla template with it. I've found a few things, but I can't seem to find the whole thing.

I hate CSS, lol. I'll get it though, just takes time.
